Birthday - May 20, 2009

At 9:00am we started our voyage into parenthood as we left for St Luke's Hospital. What a lovely day it was today, sunny and warm about 80 degrees already.



Sophia Marie Gayser was born at 12:38pm, weighing in at 5 lb 2 oz, and 17 inches long. She came out crying but quickly calmed down. Brianna Mae Gayser was born at 12:39pm, weighing 4 lb 14 oz, and also 17 inches long. She too came out crying and she kept crying for a while while Sophia laid next to her not quite sure if she also needed to cry or was just crying because her sister was crying. Either way, it was a chorus of crying and had everybody in the OR cracking up! Jeremy was a bit in shock when called over to help clean them up but he did and loved it! There would be no passing out today! Brianna's blood sugar was a little low, so they had to give her a few sucks of formula and it worked. Within an hour both babies were with Denise in the recovery room where they stayed for a few hours.



Now we are all upstairs in our private room relaxing. Both babies are doing their best at trying to feed, they are close to figuring it out, maybe tomorrow! Brianna is watching the basketball game with daddy, she looks very interested :)





Denise is very sleepy but is doing great. Jeremy is on a few cups of coffee and just changed his first diaper. So far we are shooting for a Saturday departure, let's cross our fingers!
